My 10-year-old niece, Isha, who attends 6th grade in New Jersey, visited the orphanage with me recently. Since there were a lot of 6th graders there, we got together as a group and the kids shared their experiences learning languages in the different settings. They talked about books they read, what kinds of tests they had, and topics they liked to write about. The discussions occurred in Hindi, Bengali, and English.

In order to sustain the computer instruction beyond my stay here, we’ve started collaborating with the principal of the village school the kids attend. Check out the pictures of our visit to the school. And my kids would like to know if you can spot them among the students!!!!! 🙂
